High Protein Vegan Tofu and Korean Cucumber Salad

welcome to my new series 0→60 where i’m sharing tips and recipes that helped me lose 60 Ibs! All the recipes will be gluten free because i’ve been gluten free for 11 years.

Focusing on adding more protein to my diet was key to my weight loss journey, but i made sure to always try to pair it with healthy fats and fiber, the combination of which helped enormously with my satiety while in a calorie deficit.

This recipe has all 3 of those elements and has only 330 calories and 33 grams of protein!

Today’s recipe is also entirely vegan, gluten free, and incredibly easy. I ate this for both lunch or dinner when i wanted to throw something together quickly and stay on track with my weight loss. It also goes great with an egg on top

Recipe:

1/2 block firm tofu

1/2 cup edamame

2 persian cucumbers sliced

1 tbsp tamari

2 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp sweetener (i use monkfruit)

1/2 tsp gochugaru (sriracha can also be used)

mix sauce and combine with cucumbers and edamame top tofu block with the sauce and veggies enjoy!
